9 TV Shows That Left Huge Unanswered Questions Behind
6. Mork And Mindy: Did They Escape The Time Vortex?
Mork and Mindy is one of those annoying shows that ended on a cliffhanger that would never be resolved, no doubt because the showrunners were banking on another series before the network pulled the plug.
Robin Williams' fish-out-of-water comedy took a dark twist for its three-part finale, which found the eponymous alien and his human wife on the run from a gun-wielding extraterrestrial called Kelnik. The villain destroys Mork's home, revealing his secrets, and that forces the duo to flee through history using a pair of time-travelling shoes.
Ignoring how bonkers this storyline is for the moment, because the key issue here is what happened next. Mork's time travel shoes malfunction, first sending the couple back to the prehistoric age, and later dumping them into a time vortex.
Whether Mork and Mindy ever escaped that time vortex is unknown because season 4 was the end of the road for them. Presumably season 5 would have seen them find their way home to defeat Kelnik for good, but given how madcap the three-party finale was, there's always the possibility more twists would have been in store.
